Catta pilosa

Caterpillars of various shapes and sizes are always seen around us especially during this time of summer. Such caterpillars are always seen on the leaves of various vegetable plants at the end of summer. They are very scary and beautiful insects. Because such insects are usually covered with some kind of hideous fur. And when these furs touch our body, that part of our body immediately swells and itches.

Yesterday afternoon I found this moth sitting on the leaves of our brinjal plant. After seeing it in the afternoon, I took a photograph of it. The Latin name of this moth is Catta pilosa which I found out by searching on Google. It looked so beautiful even though it was terrible. Especially its fur is scary. However I tried to do some photography from a bit safer and from a distance.
